I guess God was making a point...

Back around Mother's Day, I posted thoughts on Lydia, the Bible's first named Christian convert in Europe.

She had means, a career, a family and a personality that could prevail upon strong willed men of the time. And she was thoughtful, able to listen to and engage big ideas.

Couldn't help but think of her again this week when women emerged as standard bearers in a number of primary elections around the country. In my earlier post, I wrote "...may God bless his children with many more moms like Lydia." It seems like He might have plans to bless many more people than I imagined. Let's pray that it is so.
